This Incredible Full Scale Lego X-Wing Is the Largest Model In History

This is truly unbelievable: Lego has built a 1:1 scale model of the X-Wing fighter using an astounding 5,335,200 bricks! It's as big as the real thing, capable of fitting the real Luke Skywalker — and Porkins.

As you can see in these exclusive Gizmodo images and video, it reproduces the official £40-odd Lego 9493 X-Wing Fighter. But instead of being 560-pieces and a few inches long, this model uses more than five million pieces and it's 3.3m tall and 13m long, with a 13.5m wingspan. Just like the real X-Wing — and 42 times the size of the commercial Lego set.
